The Final Revision

I dotnt realy care about the Keyboard

WHAT? Flog this peasant!

or a bit ICQ

Wow, that's something I haven't heard in a looong time.

Sounds like you have a nice setup prepared there. Let's hope the Pyra gets added to that soon. Which foldable Keyboard did you get?

 

[matzesu]

EC Technology, Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard, i dotnt know if this thing is any good, i know that it worked on Pandora, but ditnt used it much until yet..
Its more for On the Go, when i have a Backpack whit me, ..
For Office Work whyle im on a Booring Familiy Party, i would rather use the Pyra Keyboard..

Back in the Days of the Pandora, ICQ was quite common, but now its more Wathsapp and Facebook Messenger..

Sure you're not thinking about IRC? We still hang out in IRC, but to my recollection ICQ was dead by by the end of the 90s. Nice setup though.

Regarding the keyboard photo on the wiki, I still can't quite see what's on fn+I. Seems to be a second caret/hat, maybe that one's a dead key, unlike the one on shift+6, but we don't have any other single use dead keys. And I can't see what's on shifted fn+I, since it's just a handful of pixels on that shot - could be tilde, could be n-dash, could be something even rarer. And what's that on Fn+J? Horizontal insertion caret, m-dash, pixelart sword?

ICQ is open source by now, and i still use it because the only alternative the crappy normy friend gives is whatsapp.

 

[matzesu]

The last time i used ICQ was when i got my Pandora back in the Day, the German Boards were much better frequented, and i chatet lot whit one of the Members, also whit the Pandora
I would like to chat whit the community, but whit Guitar Playing, Wood Running, Retro and Nextgen Gaming, watching of Series, and other Hobbys i dotnt know when i get the time..

I used to use XMPP to keep in touch with old colleagues, but we've switched to slack these days (group support is persistent and just works, and thus far it hasn't suffered from the downtime that all jabber/XMPP servers seemed to have). Another interesting protocol is Tox which is point to point and public/private key encrypted, and sets up automatically when you first start it, but as I mentioned group support felt a bit flakey.

That's great news, although I hope you're not going over-budget!

Nothing is glued into place, and you can even open the case with

Nice to see they proofread their articles properly

 

[JDTAY]

You know, the name of the liliputing website got me thinking, why isn't there any website for brobdingnagian computing enthusiasts? I want my DragonBuilding Pyrasaurus Rex, and I want to live inside it! Make it happen, ED.

I dotnt realy care about the Keyboard,

How dare you say such a thing

I would like to chat whit the community, but whit Guitar Playing, Wood Running, Retro and Nextgen Gaming, watching of Series, and other Hobbys i dotnt know when i get the time..

Just get an irc client (or use a web client) and pop in when you aren't doing something else. Give up an hour or two a week to chat. But don't listen to me. I have been blowing it off while waiting for my Pyra, where I hope to have it up most of the time.

Some more press coverage on the Pyra:

 

[levi]

It's official, the Pyra is the best 'fuckaroundwith' device out there!

 

[Beard Lost in the Woods]

best 'fuckaroundwith' device

Says three people I don't care about. And what was that awefully messy part about the Pandora on the video? Not even close to relevant!
Press = fuckaround/20

They obviously did not do any research about it, but it also seemed like they somehow wanted to distance themselves from it. As if they were feigning ignorance.

 

[second exodous]

@matzesu If all you want are gaming controls and not the keyboard why not just get a cheaper android handheld?

 

[matzesu]

Cause I want the Pyra cause it’s the ultimative Pocket PC,
I like to wear things that’s practically even if I ditnt use thy every day,
Also I Plan to use my Pyra as my main PC

A cheap Android Handheld is too limited,

The Pyra is the Unimog under the Linux Handhelds ..

And I didn’t said I don’t need the Keyboard at all

Only that I would be fine whit it, no matter how the layout will be..

 

[Caine]

no matter how the layout will be..

Them's fightin' words!

Mmm... they clearly had some background. They knew that the project is happening due to a very specific crowd that wants just this exact device. Somewhere in there at least one or two of them do have a grasp of what is going on.

I suspect the attitude had more to do with, "too cool for school." Admitting that you're geeking out over a device like this doesn't help you into the death metal fan club.

 

[rygD]

But it does reminds me of how black metal got started for some reason.
